Feature request from amenk, posted on GitHub Sep 29, 2015
When installing a new theme, I would add it to
dev/tools/grunt/configs/themes.js
(according to http://devdocs.magento.com/guides/v2.0/frontend-dev-guide/css-topics/css_debug.html#grunt_prereq)
But this file is in the standard git ignore and would be overwritten when doing a composer update (if Magento is installed via composer)
How can we fix this?
Maybe an additional file custom_themes.js which is included if it exists?

Clicking on the dropdown box next to a content page shows:
However, the Preview option is either named bad, or has non-existent functionality.
To properly "preview" a page, there needs to be the ability to make edits to a page, save it, and publish it at a later date, so you can "preview" the page before it is published. However, you really aren't previewing anything here, as that link just shows you the page as it is already published on the frontend site.
I believe there should either be full preview functionality added (ability to make edits, "preview" changes (before they are made viewable to the public), and then be able to publish the desired updates. It's possible this could be done on the content edit page without revision tracking, however if this is the case, the "preview" option should be removed from the content grid view, because it's not appropriate here.
I don't think the option to view the page on the frontend website is bad, but if this is kept in, it should be renamed "View", and also open in a new window so it doesn't kick you out of the admin.

What is the sense to show the customer name twice?
The first block is welcome message. The second block is the customer menu.
Please note that the welcome message for authenticated customers can not be changed or disabled in admin panel.

Products can be uniquely identified by their SKUs, which have meaning to a business, but for categories there is no such business attribute in Magento; categories can only be identified by their integer ID, which has no business meaning. In Magento 1, this poses issues when attempting to integrate Magento categories with other platforms, for example Akeneo, because there is no way of relating the Magento category with the category in the other platform.
From what I can see, this is still the case in Magento 2.
So, I guess my question is this: Given a third party system which maintains category data in a format something like [code, name, parent_code, ...] , how can we use the Magento 2 API to create and later update and delete categories using the provided code as a unique identifier?
If this isn't possible, then I think it needs to be. Most medium to large retailers have business identifiers for customers, categories, orders and many other things, not just products.

It's fantastic that you can take backups in Magento 2 for the three different areas, I have some suggestions I believe would make this more professional solution
Ability to backup automatically to a schedule (not just when installing plug-ins)
Default to exclude media from system backups
Default to put system into maintenance mode during backup
Ability to launch all three backups with formatting string
"%Y-%m-%d %H%i backup db"
"%Y-%m-%d %H%i backup sys"
"%Y-%m-%d %H%i backup uploads"

Steps to reproduce
Create a grouped product and assign it to a category
Create a Simple Product
Add some tier prices to the Simple Product
Assign the Simple Product to the Grouped Product
Go to the category in the frontend
Expected result
The displayed price of the grouped product should be the minimal possible price. ie. the minimal tier price.
Actual result
The displayed price is the minmal normal price of the assigned simple products. The tier prices are not evaluated.

Hi,
Right now, when you enable/disable a module Magento's CLI clears the cache. That's helpful but there is still a lot to be done for a module to be really enabled while in production mode, ensuring the store is in an consistent state after it finishes. For instance, these are all the steps i take when doing enabling or disabling a module in production:
Activate maintenance mode
Enable/disable module (clears cache automatically and static content if we use the --clear-static-content parameter)
Upgrade db resources
Clear generated code (/var/generation AND /var/di)
Compile code
Static content deploy
Disable maintenance mode
IMHO it would be more difficult to break things in production mode if the enable/disable process took care of all those steps. It is inconsistent, even dangerous, that it only clears the cache at this point.
I know it is possible to make things easier by creating a shell script that calls all of the necessary commands, but why not to make it automatic? The process will be the same for the biggest majority of the Magento user base after all.
My suggestion: Create a flag on the system configuration allowing admins to enable the automation of modules enabling/disabling process when in production mode. When enabled, instead of simply clearing the cache, the module:enable and module:disable commands would take all necessary measures to ensure the store is on a consistent state after it finishes. The whole process when automation is enabled would be similar to what i have described above. This flag would be true by default. If in any specific case an user needs a different deploy process, the flag can be set to false and then a custom process can be applied.
Regards,
Gabriel

Add canonical tag als to CMS and BLOG pages (actually all pages)
Duplicate content is not very good for seo. Would be good if Magento could actually ALWAYS on every page check for the base url and use the canonical tag.
We can already set the canonical tag for products and categories, but not yet for other pages. Now we see duplicate content for these pages

Feature request from simonspoerri, posted on GitHub Nov 21, 2013
Currently The indexing of Attribute Values used for the product filters in the category overview only index multiselect attributes that use attribute options. If a custom source model is specified the values are not indexed and thus are not taken into account when filtering products.
To fix the issue in my case I created an interface which all Source Models that should be taken into account while indexing should implement. For Attributes implementing this interface not only attribute options from the DB are indexed but also all options provided by the source model.
the class in question is Mage_Catalog_Model_Resource_Product_Indexer_Eav_Source . I've overridden the _prepareMultiselectIndex Method and added the following snippet after the attribute options are loaded from 'eav/attribute_option'
foreach($attrIds as $attributeId) {
$attributeModel = Mage::getModel(Mage_Eav_Model_Entity::DEFAULT_ATTRIBUTE_MODEL)->load($attributeId);
if($attributeModel->getSource() instanceof MyNS_MyModule_Model_Product_Attribute_Source_Interface) {
$sourceModelOptions = $attributeModel->getSource()->getAllOptions();
foreach($sourceModelOptions as $o) {
$options[$attributeId][$o["value"]] = true;
}
}
}
Maybe I'm misusing some principles here but I really think custom source model based multiselect attributes should be filterable as well, thus they need to be indexed...

Fix default Magento font in order PDF (and filesize of 1MB +)
Please have a look at the code alterations here:
http://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/4812/why-is-my-invoice-pdf-1mb
How about we provide a font dropdown in backend to select our own font. And default this to Helvetica?
Now users can choose. (and actually choose for small PDF files)

Hello. I apologize in advance if this functionality is. I would like to make a suggestion on the routes. It is very lacking in the short address with address bar of your browser. Now addressing Magenta works of principle:
http:// domain.com / module / controller / action
http:// domain.com / checkout / cart / updatePost
It would be great if had the opportunity to register routes for specific modules, as is done, for example, in the framework Kohana:
Route::set('default', '(controller(/action(/id)))')
->defaults(array(
'controller' => 'welcome',
'action' => 'index',
));
Route::set('cart', 'cart(/param1)')
->defaults(array(
'directory' => 'checkoutDirectory',
'controller' => 'cartController',
'action' => 'indexAction',
));
PS: example is slightly modified in order to convey the essence
And then when you click on the address:
http:// domain.com / cart
working out the controller
http:// domain.com / checkout / cart / index

Hi,
I'm currently playing around with the plugin interceptors. Currently the only way to handle the order of plugins is by the sortOrder attribute. Unfortunately that's very lmiited as it only accepts a hardcoded integer value. Especially if you have dependencies between different modules it's very risky to use these, as if some other module changes it's sort order your extension might break.
Would Magento be interested in a solution where you could define a before or after attribute (similar to the layout blocks) to define if a plugin should be run before or after any other specific plugin? For me that would be a great solution to also handle bigger dependency chains and it's less likely to break if when the amount of plugins is growing. What drawbacks can you see in this solution?

Is it possible to add a new PDF generation mechanism in Magento 2 in CORE?
Maybe based on HTML -> PDF or using advanced PDF editors?
Something like:
http://www.aromicon.de/magento-download-extensions-modules/en/aromicon-invoice-pdf-pro.html
or
http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/html2pdf.html
Now it is almost impossible to change anything about the PDF documents without very advanced programming and changing complex files
Many thanks

I think that Magento2 should import namespaces and use aliases instead of using fully qualified namespaces all over the place.
Here is an example.
What I suggest is that instead of:
throw new \Magento\Framework\Model\Exception(
__('Invalid login or password.'),
self::EXCEPTION_INVALID_EMAIL_OR_PASSWORD
);
We could have:
use \Magento\Framework\Model\Exception as MagentoException
/* ... */
throw new MagentoException(
__('Invalid login or password.'),
self::EXCEPTION_INVALID_EMAIL_OR_PASSWORD
);
Here are the benefits from this:
With importing namespaces keyword at the first few lines of a class you actually get a nice documentation of your class dependencies. Everything that class uses is in those first few lines. It makes dependencies explicit.
If something changes in the future, you would only need to change it in one place, in import declaration and the alias remains. With fully qualified namespaces you would need to find them everywhere in class and change.
Less confusion if you have similar namespaces, you can give them different aliases.
All major frameworks use importing/aliases over fully qualified namespaces.
Let me know what you think.
